We postulate a Planck scale horizon unit area, with no bits of information locally attached to it, connected but otherwise of free form, and let $n$ such geometric units compactly tile the black hole horizon. Associated with each…

We show how to construct the nonstandard hull of certain infinite-dimensional Lie algebras in order to generalize a theorem of Pestov on the enlargeability of Banach-Lie algebras. In the process, we consider a nonstandard smoothness…

We solve the classical problem of Plateau in every metric space which is $1$-complemented in an ultra-completion of itself. This includes all proper metric spaces as well as many locally non-compact metric spaces, in particular, all dual…

Let $G'$ be a closed subgroup of a topological group $G$. A principal $G$-bundle $X$ is reducible to a locally trivial principal $G'$-bundle $X'$ if and only if there exists a local trivialisation of $X$ such that all transition functions…

It is shown that there exists a complete, atomless, sigma-centered Boolean algebra, which does not contain any regular countable subalgebra if and only if there exist a nowhere dense ultrafilter. Therefore the existence of such algebras is…

The kernel of the $\mathbb{Z}_2^{n}$ Dirac-Dunkl operator is examined. The symmetry algebra $\mathcal{A}_{n}$ of the associated Dirac-Dunkl equation on $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$ is determined and is seen to correspond to a higher rank…

Given a separable Banach space $E$, we construct an extremely non-complex Banach space (i.e. a space satisfying that $\|Id + T^2\|=1+\|T^2\|$ for every bounded linear operator $T$ on it) whose dual contains $E^*$ as an $L$-summand. We also…

To every Banach space V we associate a compact right topological affine semigroup E(V). We show that a separable Banach space V is Asplund if and only if E(V) is metrizable, and it is Rosenthal (i.e. it does not contain an isomorphic copy…

The Lichnerowicz conjecture asserts that all harmonic manifolds are either flat or locally symmetric spaces of rank 1. This conjecture has been proved by Z.I. Szabo for harmonic manifolds with compact universal cover. E. Damek and F. Ricci…

A question of Poletsky was to know if there exists a thin Hartogs figure such that any of its neighborhoods cannot be imbedded in Stein spaces. In \cite{chirka}, Chirka and Ivashkovitch gave such an example arising in an open complex…

To any automorphism, $\alpha$, of a totally disconnected, locally compact group, $G$, there is associated a compact, $\alpha$-stable subgroup of $G$, here called the \emph{nub} of $\alpha$, on which the action of $\alpha$ is topologically…

For a $C^*$-algebra $A$ of compact operators and a compact manifold $M,$ we prove that the Hodge theory holds for $A$-elliptic complexes of pseudodifferential operators acting on smooth sections of finitely generated projective $A$-Hilbert…

The paper is concerned with the boundary behaviour of polynomially and rationally convex hulls in pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$. As an application, it is shown that every connected polynomially or rationally convex compact set with…

We fully characterize those von Neumann algebras having the ball-covering property. We also study the ball-covering property of noncommutative symmetric spaces. In particular, we provide a number of new examples of non-separable…

Improving on an earlier example by J. van Mill, we prove that there exists a zero-dimensional compact space of countable pi-weight and uncountable character which is homogeneous under MA+notCH, but not under CH.

We prove the existence of a non-trivial hyperinvariant subspace for several sets of polynomially compact operators. The main results of the paper are: (i) a non-trivial norm closed algebra $\mathcal A\subseteq \mathcal B(\mathscr X)$ which…

A disc packing in the plane is compact if its contact graph is a triangulation. There are $9$ values of $r$ such that a compact packing by discs of radii $1$ and $r$ exists. We prove, for each of these $9$ values, that the maximal density…

This paper proves the non-existence of common K\"ahler submanifolds of the complex Euclidean space and the symmetrized polydisc endowed with their canonical metrics.

Let $\mathcal A$ be a semisimple commutative Banach algebra. It is shown that either $\mathcal A$ has exactly one uniform norm or it admits uncountably many uniform norms. Further, it is shown that there always exists a largest closed…

This work investigates analytic Hilbert modules $\mathcal{H}$, over the polynomial ring, consisting of holomorphic functions on a $G$-space $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}^m$ that are homogeneous under the natural action of the group $G$. In a…
